Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.
No idea where Sting came from or why I'm supposed to believe an old brokedick like him can hang with Rollins (nevermind the fact that he lost the last time we saw him) but I guess he's someone "new."
I'm guessing NoC is where Rollins loses at least one, if not both of those belts. Hopefully Sheamus either cashes in or loses that case, too. I still don't get why he got that thing in the first place. Just get his cash-in over with so I can tune out for a few weeks during his reign. Fuck Sheamus.

No wonder the crowd shat all over the diva's segment; creative is giving people zero reason to care.
Nailed it. Story. Story story story story story. Bayley vs. Sasha on Saturday was an amazing match by itself, but the buildup made you emotionally invested, which puts it over the top. As much as I mark for Sasha, I'm glad they didn't throw her out there tonight. Maybe Dunn'll get fired in the next week and they'll get their heads out of their asses as to why Saturday night's match was so much better received than the ones last night & tonight.

Not without a story, they won't. An NXT crowd might be into it, but 15K casual fans won't know enough about those 2 except "Flair's daughter" and "Boss" as it stands.
I'm no fan of Nikki, but she's a very small part of the problem. You could put the diva's belt on Jesus and nobody's going to care if it's just generic tag matches every week. [Reply]
The shitty thing is that Nikki is no worse than the 5th best women's wrestler on the main roster* (when motivated to perform), but she's being done no favors by how long this title reign is lasting. Everyone needs character motivation, not mindless three-woman tag tems for no reason other than the sake of having them.
* Seriously, did you see that suicide dive she pulled off at SummerSlam? That was beautiful. That was darn near on the level of El Hijo del Fantasma/King Cuerno. [Reply]

Rollins will pull double duty (unless he loses a belt between now & then). Gives Cena his win & US belt back early in the night then wrestles Sting in the main event for the WHC.
Christ, I can't believe I typed that in 2015. [Reply]

With as often as they mention AJ's record-length reign, it sounds like she's just holding it to break the record, then we can finally get the Sasha Show. Which is fucking stupid, but welcome to the divas division. [Reply]
Sting is getting a nice run, but it's pretty obvious what the set up is.
They want Rollins to remain relevant, but get him off the top because they botched his first run and need to adjust him some.
They managed to figure out a way to finally get that fucking belt off Cena because he was never going to put over a midcard.
Now he's free to start building the fall and winter long journey of dipping his dick right into the ass of Ric Flair's record. What does Shaemus have to do with this? He's been rebuilt into the heel that Cena will chase and has more credibility to make the line a solid than Rollins.
They had him R Kelly on Orton so they can build him up for the hotswap at NoC when he cashes in.
They're certainly not giving their top title to a guy that's nearing 60 and can hardly go anymore. [Reply]

She ought to be huge for the company going forward. A virtual lock. But she's also still quite green in some aspects. She can look incredible when she's wrestling a ring general heel who can command the pace and direction of the match (i.e. Sasha Banks, by far the best women's wrestler in the company), but put her in the same babyface spot against, say Brie Bella & Charlotte flounders. She'll improve, no doubt. But right now I think you can make the argument that Nikki is a better overall wrestler. [Reply]

You're better at this than I am lol
I just have absolutely zero desire to see another Sheamus vs. Cena feud. Sheamus gets no reaction and I've seen enough of Cena in the title picture to last 3 lifetimes.
But if it means Rollins doesn't have to job to Cena, I'll live with it. I damn near had a seizure when Cena came out to challenge Rollins at SS. They may have effed up the title reign, but I still love Seth. Dude was on point in the match last night. [Reply]

Seth was basically working as a babyface in that match too. He still ought to be a spectacular drawing babyface for WWE someday. His moveset is so damn likable. [Reply]
